On a K4/K5 the idme when booted from main can only read vars. When booted from diags, you can also write them (with the -d parameter). Not sure about the K3 though. There are other ways to write them such as fastboot and a diags menu too. I have not played with K3 diags much...

You can probably set the serial number and maybe the MAC address by placing a blank file called ENABLE_DIAGS on the usb drive part, then rebooting... There should be an option to set those, but it's been a while...

I saw an option there to set serial, but then it says "waiting for serial port" ......so that's a dead end.
Thanks anyway

I was thrilled to see that file posted, I thought that would do it. I flashed it today.

But ......
USBNetwork can't install because "update your kindle" is greyed out because of the serial.

If USBNetwork hack is on here already...
May I please have a link to those files, then drop them in kindle USB drive?

You must have missed the announcement from a few days ago in the simple debricking sticky thread.The pastebin was updated to contain 3.4 with Jailbreak and with combined Dev Keys...
Go look at the first post of the Dev Corner simple debricking sticky thread:http://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=170929EDIT: Hint... search for "mmcblk0p1-3.4+jb+keys".

He just posted that he needs the usbnet folders because the .bin files will not install due to lack of serial number, but he has flashed the 3.4 image.

I extracted it and copied the usbnet folder to my kindle, and set it
to autostart usbnet:cp -r kindle-usbnetwork-0.44.N/src/usbnet /media/Kindle
cd /media/Kindle/usbnet
mv DISABLED_auto auto

Then I ejected my kindle USB drive, and restarted. I plugged in the USB cable. Not USB Drive mode --that is a good sign that USBNet is running.sudo ifconfig usb0 up
sudo ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.1
ssh root@192.168.2.2

And it worked!

Download the usbnet hack and copy its usbnet folder from src to the kindle. Then reboot.

A bit lost here.
I'm on windows vista 32bit.
Do I type those lines in the command line? Or is that Linux?
